Tiger Valve Company

What Tiger Valve Company does

Tiger Valve Company (TVC) is an API-certified industrial valve manufacturer headquartered in a 94,000 sq ft facility in Houston, Texas, serving the North American oil and gas market with complementary exposure to the power, chemical, and mining industries. The company's core offering is a portfolio of API 6A and API 6D compliant valves — trunnion-mounted and floating ball valves, slab and expanding gate valves (including high-pressure frac-service ball-screw actuated models), shut-off pigging valves, resilient-seated butterfly valves, and threaded swing check valves — backed by API License 6A-0993, ISO 9001, API Spec Q1, and API 6D-1802 certifications. Through its wholly-owned TVC/SST division and a co-development relationship with SST, TVC extends into severe-service metal-seated ball valves for power-generation applications, including a patented Triple Redundant Sealing Stem design for fugitive-emission service. The company also assembles complete API-6A wellhead systems (casing heads, tubing heads, hangers, chokes) as turnkey packages, alongside pneumatic rack-and-pinion and piston/diaphragm actuators that enable automated valve operation.

The commercial model is project-driven hardware sales: products are quoted (with 30-day quotation validity), billed on 30-day terms, and supported by replacement-parts revenue across all TVC product lines. Distribution is direct, via Regional Sales Managers, Product Managers, and an Inside Sales team based at the Houston headquarters, supplemented by a satellite facility in Midland, Texas targeting the Permian Basin and manufacturing representatives stocking inventory across the US. Demand generation combines online Request-for-Quote intake, downloadable product catalogs, an educational blog, and trade-show participation such as Valve World Americas. Customer pricing tiers, payment terms, and a credit-application workflow indicate a B2B enterprise sales motion aimed at upstream, midstream, and downstream operators, E&Ps, and engineering contractors.

TVC reports no external funding, no public listing, and no parent-company relationships in the source material; operations appear privately held and founder-controlled. Cumulative production of 15,000+ TVC/SST metal-seated ball valves since the division's 2013 founding and the addition of a 25,000 sq ft API-certified assembly and testing footprint suggest ongoing reinvestment and product-line expansion rather than scale-out via acquisition or capital raise.
